PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline to 12 weeks

Change in skin tone is assessed using the Modified Pigmentation Area and Severity Index (MoPASI). MoPASI assesses three facial region variables: 1) A = % area of involvement (0 = no involvement, 6 = 90% involvement), 2) D = darkness of pigment (0=absent, 4=maximum), 3) P = pattern of involvement (0=absent, 4=maximum). Four facial regions will be assessed: Forehead (0.2A), Left Cheek and periorbital (0.3A), Right Cheek and periorbital (0.3A), Nose/Lip/Chin (0.2A). The Total score ranges from 0-48 and is calculated using the formula: MoPASI = 0.2A(D + P) + 0.3A (D+P) + 0.3A (D+P) + 0.2A (D+P). A higher score indicates higher pigmentation.
